The What Works Clearinghouse promotes informed education decision making though a database of interventions linked to WWC reviews of evidence, and a variety of user-friendly, high quality reports that include:

• Practice Guides
• Quick Reviews
• Intervention and Topic Reports

REL reports include two ongoing web-based series—Issues & Answers and REL Technical Briefs. The overall intent for both series of reports is to provide educators and policymakers with credible scientifically based research on a regular basis. All Issues & Answers and REL Technical Briefs are required to undergo external peer review to ensure that these reports meet the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) standards for scientifically valid research before being published online.

• The Regional Educational Laboratory Program (REL): Reports

NCEE publishes commissioned, peer-reviewed papers, called Technical Methods Reports that result from special investigations undertaken by evaluation experts associated with NCEE studies, guided by the NCEE Methods Working Group. The reports are designed for use by research and evaluation specialists, address current methodological questions, and provide guidance or answers to help in resolving or advancing challenges to evaluation methods.

• Technical Methods Report: Estimation and Identification of the Complier Average Causal Effect Parameter in Education RCTs
• Technical Methods Report: The Late Pretest Problem in Randomized Control Trials of Education Interventions
• Technical Methods Report: Guidelines for Multiple Testing in Impact Evaluations
• Technical Methods Report: Statistical Power for Regression Discontinuity Designs in Education Evaluations
